Awareness of the climate impact of the construction industry is increasing and demands for improved measures are needed to reduce the climate footprint. By year 2045, Sweden should have zero net emissions of greenhouse gases. From January 1, 2022, a climate declaration is required for the construction of new buildings, the purpose of the climate declaration is to reduce the climate impact of the c

The device or the formulation? Which one governs drug dispersibility from the inhaler? To address this question, three budesonide-containing reservoir DPIs: Novopulmon Novolizer®, Giona Easyhaler® and DuoResp Spiromax®, were analyzed using the Next Generation Impactor, NGI. Thereafter, the devices were carefully opened, emptied, and formulations were switched between devices. Finally, three ‘proto

The advancement of CMOS technology has been fueled by the need to satisfy Moore’s law by shrinking transistors to progressively smaller sizes and increasing the transistor density per unit area [1]. The dimension of the state-of-the-art MOSFET is now down to a few nanometers. However, with continued device scaling, the performance of Integrated Chips (ICs) starts to deteriorate, making it essentia

This paper contributes to the literature with a methodology that helps identify the functions that constrain the overall performance of an innovation system, hence providing clear guidelines to policymakers on the direction of their interventions. This methodology relies on the notion of penalty for bottleneck, which is defined as the weakest link or the binding constraint that holds back system p

The study investigated how the political process of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda differs between South Korea and Sweden. Through the document analysis and the expert interviews, the research explored the formal and informal institutional dynamics that influence the development and implementation of National Action Plans (NAPs) and the WPS agenda. Also, it explored internal and extern

Along with escalating climate change impacts, aggravated hunger and malnutrition, and widening socioeconomic disparities, recent decades have also seen increased casualties during intrastate conflicts. The aim of this thesis is accordingly to investigate the interactions among climate vulnerability, food insecurity, and socioeconomic inequality and their effects on conflict intensity. The research

Climate change is one of the global problems that the world is facing today. Previous studies have shown that climate change has negatively affected the livelihoods of the vulnerable population. However, understanding climate change is usually influenced by how it affects a person’s livelihood. For agriculture-dependent communities, it has been documented that climate change includes rainfall vari

In the last decade, the European Union (EU) has faced several different security challenges, such as terrorist attacks, military conflicts, and a refugee crisis, threatening the safety of its citizens and interests. This has contributed to the EU's desire to improve its security and defense capacity. As part of the solution, the EU established the European Peace Facility (EPF) in 2021, which p

Since 1962, Sweden has gained significant global influence through its generous foreign aid policy. However, in late 2022 a new foreign aid policy was announced which includes several drastic and controversial changes. This study demonstrates the significance of taking the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the severest conflict in Europe since 1945, into consideration to understand this change of forei

The purpose of this study was to compare the food security and dietary diversity status of Bangladeshi immigrants living in Sweden to their position in Bangladesh. Structured surveys were used to collect data from 15 Bangladeshi immigrants, which included demographic information as well as indices of food security and dietary diversity. Food security was assessed using the Household Food Insecurit

The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th

Abstract in DanishTiden efter den kolde krig er slut. Nu befinder vi os i tiden efter Ukraine-krigen. Hvor stårDanmark og Østersøregionen i et tænkt scenarie, hvor Rusland ikke længere er optaget afkrigen i Ukraine og i stedet reorienterer sig mod vest? I dette arbejdspapir rammesætter vinogle sandsynlige scenarier for Danmarks nærområde. Ved at konstatere, at en demokratiskomstilling af Rusland e

Ehlers-Danlos syndrom (EDS) är en grupp ärftliga sjukdomar som påverkar kroppens bindväv. Sjukdomen kan yttra sig på många olika sätt och de vanligaste symtomen är töjbar hud, överrör- liga leder och kronisk smärta. Patienter med EDS upplever ofta misstro i mötet med den skånska sjukvården. År 2022 startades en specialistenhet vid Skånes universitetssjukhus (SUS) för att säkra vården för denna patIntroduction: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary diseases that affect the body’s connective tissue. It presents with many different symptoms, the most common being stretchy skin, hypermobility and chronic pain. EDS-patients often experience mistrust and disbelief in their encounters with healthcare personnel. A specialized healthcare unit was established at Skåne University Hosp

This project named Kursi aims to address the design challenges specific to the moun- tainous regions of Nepal. These areas are renowned for trekking and can only be reached after days of arduous hiking or by air travel, typically through helicopters. Tourism plays a significant role in the lives of the local communities, and the landscape has adapted to accommodate these temporary residents who

UNLABELLED: Trigger finger is overrepresented among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Whether DM affects the outcome after open trigger finger release (OTFR) in patients with DM is not known. Our aim was thus to explore outcomes after OTFR in patients with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 DM (T2D).METHODS: Data included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) from all OTFRs performed between 2010 and

PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) är en skolbaserad intervention som har visats öka elevers självreglering, främja prosociala beteenden och hämma utmanande beteenden. Det finns dock begränsad kunskap kring hur deltagande elever känner inför interventionen. Vi genomförde semistrukturerade intervjuer och enkätundersökningar med elever i 3:e klass i Sverige för att undersöka deras känslor kring och atPAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) is a school-based intervention which has been shown to increase student’s self-regulation, promote prosocial behaviors, and inhibit challenging behaviors. However, little is known about how participating students feel about the intervention. In this study, we conducted semi-structured interviews and surveys with 3rd grade students in Sweden to examine their feeling
